Nigella Seed/Black Cumin
Nigella seeds, also known as black cumin, are native to Southwest Asia and the Mediterranean. They have been used for centuries in traditional medicine for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
In addition, they are a rich source of essential fatty acids and vitamins. Nigella seeds are commonly used in Indian, Middle Eastern, and North African cuisine for their distinct earthy and nutty flavour. They are often sprinkled on bread, used in spice blends, and added to curries and stews.
SpiceNest’s provided seeds come directly from the local farmers to ensure high-quality standards of seeds.
